About Model Context Protocol (MCP)
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely access external tools and data sources. It provides a standardized way for AI models to interact with various services while maintaining security and control.
MCP servers act as bridges between AI assistants and external APIs, databases, or services. They handle authentication, data formatting, and provide a consistent interface for AI models to access external functionality.
Key Benefits:
- Secure and controlled access to external tools
- Standardized interface across different AI assistants
- No need to share API keys with AI providers
- Local execution for sensitive operations
